1-3 Precautions

Video cassette

Erasure prevention tab

Timelapse recording (24H-960H mode) is performed over very long periods of time which means that a durable tape is required. When using VHS tapes, do not use tapes with recording times of more than 120 minutes (T-160/T-180 etc.).

For best results, use a T-120 tape.

•Only use video cassette bearing the or mark.

•To prevent accidental erasure of a recorded tape, break the erasure prevention tab on the cassette. To use a cassette with a broken tab, place a piece of cellophane tape over the broken tab.

•Video cassettes cannot be used upside down.

•Leaving the tape in a partially wound condition for a long time may damage the tape. Rewind the tape to the beginning before storage.

To obtain the best picture quality, use an HG (high grade) tape . Degradation of picture quality may result with some types of tape. Make a test recording before performing any important recording to check the picture quality.

1-4 Daily Inspection

Although this unit has been designed for reliable operation over a long period of time, a daily inspection is recommended to ensure optimum performance. In particular, be sure to check the repeat recording/playback function on a daily basis.

Inspection procedure

1Turn on the power for all units connected to the surveillance system.

2Check the quality of the image shown on the monitor.

1-5 Regarding S-VHS ET Recording

•The S-VHS ET recording feature of this unit ensures a picture quality (horizontal resolution of 400 lines) on a par with S-VHS when a VHS tape is used. This function is automatically activated when a VHS tape is inserted into the unit and recording started. This unit does not perform normal VHS recording.

•S-VHS ET recording is not performed in the linear slow (L12/L18/L24) mode.

•Playback of a tape recorded in the S-VHS ET format should be performed on this unit, or on a video deck equipped with function for S-VHS or S-VHS simple playback (SQPB). (Playback may not be possible on some video decks.)

•HG (high-grade) VHS tapes are recommended for S-VHS ET recording. Depending on the characteristics of the tape, correct recording may not always be possible. Use the tape after making a test recording to ensure that recording is conducted correctly.

3Check that the date and time shown on the monitor are correct.

4Rewind the tape recorded the previous day for several seconds.

5Press the play button for playback.

6Check that the playback picture is normal.

7Check that the recorded date and time are correct.

5This unit includes a Recording Check function (using the [REC REVIEW] button). Use these features to quickly check recording quality on a daily basis.

If any problems are found after inspection, turn the power off, unplug the mains plug from the socket, and contact your Panasonic dealer.

•Accidentally inserting a tape recorded in the S-VHS ET format into a dedicated VHS deck that is not designed for playback of this type could result in damage. To avoid this kind of accident, mark cassettes labels in such a way that you can easily distinguish between S-VHS ET and VHS recordings when storing cassettes.

•As far as possible avoid operations that apply a load to the tape, such as search playback, etc. This will result in deteriorating picture quality.

•Noise may appear in the playback picture during search playback and field advance. This is not a malfunction.
